On the contrary, I would argue that it is highly professional. If you know that someone else is better than you in a 1-on-1, you get a partner so it is now a 1-on-2 and you have a chance. Nothing prevents your opponent from doing the same thing. (Unless, of course, doing so is against the rules.) This happens in the professional world all the time, does it not?

Whether or not it is gracious is, however, up to interpretation.
